“I think the Democratic Party has room for many people who are currently Republicans”
No. 

Disagree. After Trump goes to prison, ex-Republican politicians are going to be flocking to us in droves. We need to be selective. Fuck these off-brand turds.

Did you ever fucking consider that because of heteronormative society its just fucking easier to date men? If there isn’t a gay bar that caters to women in your area, and there are like two women on tinder or okcupid, who you might have a beef with or already dated, then men become your only option. Colleges tend to…

At least we know that Donald Trump hates women more than he loves powerful Germans.

Rihanna’s public image is way less calculated(or at least comes across as such) than T Swift’s. Rihanna speaks her mind, Taylor Swift vocalizes branding statements.

Yep! Lots of people have said this. Fans have even started calling her out for using feminism as a brand or when it suits her needs, especially when she didn’t participatee in the Womens March and only made a passing tweet. It’s like Katy Perry, Rihanna and Beyonce were out there. But especially Katy Perry, it’s like…

That’s my only issue with it. Feminism is political. You can’t just put it on when you want like a designer jacket and expect people not to call you out on that. 

Taylor fucking Swift, who may as well have voted for Trump

YES. If you’re going to explicitly and intentionally profit from the political movement you damn well better also help it along.

“who may as well have voted for Trump, as far as I’m concerned”

I don’t think celebrities are necessarily obligated to voice political concerns, but when TS uses feminism as marketing, I think she somewhat opens herself up to this kind of criticism.

Did she explain in her original tweet why he was a dick? Otherwise, she’s slandering him and I don’t think his reaction is terrible. It sounds like he asked her to delete the tweet and she said no.

She doesn’t care who he is but then tweets about him? Right... maybe your daughter is the dickhead in this scenario?

Liam Hemsworth has always struck me as that nice-but-dull guy from work - who everyone likes because he’s reliable and kind - who you presume spends his weekends working on his lawn and helping his kids with their craft projects.

The Indian tech sector is hesitantly looking forward to the influx of talent and the reverse brain drain they expect to see as a result of the new policies.

An organized labor strike looks REEEEEEALLLY different from the disorganization that was this strike. I wasn’t even aware you were supposed to wear a color until I got a text the morning of telling me to. I belong to several local progressive women’s groups.

A labor strike is very organized and an overwhelmingly high…

Yes!! That too. It all amounted to concern trolling while remaining clueless as to the history, purpose & scope of the strike itself. There was a lot of Jez commenters in that camp. I even read one commenter basically saying, “I am privileged enough to attend, but since some women aren’t as privileged as me and cannot…

And general strikes have always been a tool of the working class. In France 1968 I think about 10 million workers went on strike nationwide. If I recall correctly this one lasted a couple weeks rather than one day but the concept is still very similar. This was the working class using their power against the state.

I think a lot of these people who criticized the strike demonstrated how US-centric their perspectives are. There’s this assumption that the people who came up with it were all middle- and upper-class women, largely white. But as as Jezebel’s great post on Latin American feminism mentioned, the idea for the…

This kind of bullshit in-fighting is precisely why the conservatives — who, despite all their faults, are ace at holding their noses in the interest of presenting a solid front to their opponents and attaining their goals— manage to get so much fuckery done while the liberals argue about everything under the sun.
